San Francisco, Malibu, and L.A.: Day 13, 14, and 15

After enjoying the beach at Half Moon Bay, we headed to San Francisco. The first thing we had to see was the Golden Gate Bridge...and yes, the boys pointed out that it is not golden:)
 We took a ride on the famous cable cars, and checked out quite a few other spots in San Francisco {which I apparently didn't photograph}. We drove down Lombard Street, walked around Chinatown, went to Fisherman's Wharf, and we got to visit the Exploratorium for free!
 The next day we headed down to Malibu, and the first thing the boys wanted to do when we got there was check out the beach. We camped in Malibu, but we actually drove about 3 miles down to Zuma Beach {which is apparently where they filmed Baywatch}.
 The boys had a ton of fun skimboarding and splashing around in the {warmer than Half Moon Bay} waves.
 The day we visited a ton of places in Los Angeles.
*the Hollywood sign*
 *Griffith Observatory*
They were setting up for the premiere of Rock of Ages. We didn't see any stars, but it was neat to see all the stuff set up in the middle of Hollywood Blvd.
 *Grauman's Chinese Theater*
 *The Hollywood Walk of Fame*
 *Pink's*
 *The La Brea Tar Pits*
 And we ended our day with a walk down the Santa Monica Pier. 

The boys even got to ride on that fun roller coaster that you can see in the background.

We headed back to the Airstream, ate some fish tacos, and starting getting ready for the long trip home!

Our First Visit to the Pacific Ocean: Day 12

Half Moon Bay, California was
 beautiful and cold and windy,

but that didn't
stop the boys from
having a great time
and getting soaking wet!
Jason and I stayed high and dry on the sand:)
And then we watched the sun set into the Pacific Ocean!
